• Recognizing when you're getting emotionally entangled rather than being supportive
• Intensifying your presence through mindfulness and grounding techniques
• Understanding that boundaries protect your peace while holding space invites theirs
• Trusting someone's journey without needing to control it
• Acknowledging suffering as a teacher that some people need for growth
• Practicing forgiveness as releasing your grip on pain, not condoning behavior
• Using affirmations like "I offer space, not solutions" to strengthen your practice
• Guided meditation for centering yourself when supporting others

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Transform your Life.
Just Count Me In the podcastwhere we explore ways to release
, renew and reconnect with yourinspired self.
Whether you're a growth-mindedadult or a teen trying to
navigate life, or a parentseeking peace in these chaotic
(00:22):
times, this episode is for youand if you've ever felt drained,
trying to help someone orunsure on how to support them
without getting overwhelmed,today we're going to dive into a
pretty powerful concept.
We're going to explore how tohold space for others without
losing yourself.
(00:42):
Last week, we talked aboutletting go and aligning with the
energy, using the energy of thewaiting moon.
This week, we're going to takeit a little bit further Letting
go and forgiveness and somethings that have come up for me.
Recently I went to a funeral.
(01:03):
We went to a funeral.
Come up for me.
Recently I went to a funeral.
We went to a funeral.
A friend of ours died and we hadbeen doing pretty well with
holding space for his wife.
We love her very much and wewere holding space for her and
helping her through.
And then, at the burial at sea,suddenly, when she put his
ashes into the ocean, I justheard that sound of the urn and
(01:28):
we were close with both of themand I just lost it.
I mean, I was sobbing and all Icould think of in that moment
was I wasn't even holding spacefor her.
I was just thinking, oh my gosh, this would be so awful to be
putting my husband's ashes intothe water and how would this
feel.
And she's losing her partner,and how would I deal with that.
(01:50):
And I totally got into it withher and really there's no help.
I could not help her from thatplace at all.
She couldn't get to a peacefulplace which we had been trying
to hold for her, a calm,supportive place.
Can't get here from there, notwhen I go there with her.
(02:11):
And then we noticed during thecourse of the ride on the boat
that people that came there werepeople that came up and hugged
her and were supportive and heldspace and she cried and they
laughed together and they heldeach other.
And then there were some peoplewho also came up there and
completely broke down and shestarted taking care of them and,
(02:33):
as a person who's been in thatrole, even when my mom died, I
wasn't young and I can rememberthere I was comforting a lot of
people when my mom died and itreally is the time that you need
to be receiving the comfort,and so when we're trying to help
somebody else, when we'reholding space for somebody
(02:55):
that's going through a hard time, we definitely cannot go there
with them, and this has beenhard for me.
I do not like to see people Icare about suffer.
I don't like to see anybodysuffer, so it's one that I
really had to learn and had towork very hard on, so I hope
this episode helps you.
So holding space just to defineit quickly means being present
(03:16):
with someone without judgment orwithout trying to fix them.
That's a tough one.
To fix them, that's a tough one.
It means creating a calm, likea sacred container, so that they
can process their emotionswithout you needing to absorb
(03:36):
them.
And, as a highly sensitive,empathetic person, this is a
practice, and it's something Iwork with my kids with, too, my
clients.
You are not the healer they are, you are the space where
healing actually becomespossible.
So you have to remember youcan't get there from here.
Meeting somebody in their chaosdoes not help.
(03:59):
Staying grounded and aligneddoes so how do you stay grounded
and aligned?
Was my big question when Ifirst started coaching and I
started learning that I wasblowing it in a lot of the
relationships in my life bygetting into it with people too
much and not holding space forthem to feel it, by jumping in
(04:21):
and trying to make suggestions,or I still have to bite my
tongue.
It's an old habit to try to fix, to try to ease, to try to help
people feel better, and then Irealize it's their lesson, it's
their trip right now, it's theirlife and it does not help for
me to feel their feelings withthem or for them.
What you can do is intensifyyour own presence.
(04:46):
So, if you have a mindfulnesspractice or a meditation
practice, you're just in touchwith your inner self, just
taking a moment, getting intouch with your breath, rooting
down, remembering that this isnot a mindset shift, this is a
body shift, it's an energeticshift.
(05:08):
We don't need to put up a shieldof protection, we need to just
hold space, and it's not eitheror it's both, and as it comes to
boundaries and holding space.
So the first, the second stepis to become very aware of the
voice and to help them becomeaware of the voice inside of
(05:32):
them.
Boundaries protect your peace.
Holding space invites theirs.
So you do set up a boundary, tomake sure that you're not
crossing over into somethingthat is actually interference.
And it's a question I ask isthis mine and am I interfering?
(05:54):
And I wait and listen to theguidance that I get.
Empowered, compassion says hey,I trust you're okay.
Even though it's not okay rightnow, even in your pain, I trust
that you, at the soul level,are okay, because I trust in the
(06:15):
process of life.
You're not responsible fortheir healing.
You are responsible for yourown vibration and for some of us
it takes more practice thanothers.
But you can actually watch aperson calm down, open up,
(06:37):
finish venting if that's allthey have to do, and they'll
even say well, thank you so muchfor just holding the space so
that I could process thatemotion and I just told them
you're welcome.
So part of this is alsotrusting your journey, and that
comes with trusting yourself.
So you can take a couplebreaths, ground yourself down
(07:03):
and remember that trust is lovein action.
When you hold space, eventhough somebody's in pain or
angry or anxious, you'retrusting someone's soul to do
what it came here to do, evenwhen it's messy, even when you
(07:23):
wish that you could fix it.
So suffering was the part thatwas really hard for me, and
suffering is a place where it'sa reaction that we have for many
different reasons, manydifferent circumstances, and
(07:43):
it's a way of processing things.
Suffering is also a teacher.
According to Google, sufferingis an emotional experience in
response to many differentcauses.
So there's deep suffering andthere's short suffering, there's
(08:04):
collective suffering andthere's individual suffering.
Either way, sometimes you youknow you can't be everybody's
teacher.
I certainly can't beeverybody's teacher and
sometimes they already have ateacher.
Sometimes it's another person,sometimes their other teacher is
actually suffering, and we alllearn through suffering.
(08:28):
You still evolve and sufferingis just your old spiritual
teacher and you heal either way.
Some people only learn throughsuffering and some people are
addicted to that.
Others move on.
So I've had plenty of timeswhere I have learned from
(08:48):
suffering and I am now moving onand learning more and more
without needing to suffer.
Another topic that is importanthere is forgiveness, and we have
done an episode on forgivenessand we realized that it doesn't
mean agreeing with somebody'sbehavior.
(09:09):
It just means you're releasingyour grip on the pain and the
person that's suffering at thetime might actually need to
release their grip on the painand stop hurting themselves over
it.
They need to be able to come topeace.
So it's not a matter of well.
I think Eckhart Tolle saidbeyond happiness and unhappiness
(09:31):
, there's peace.
He's a very, very I follow himvery brilliant person, and for
them to get to a peaceful place,they're going to stop hurting
themselves over what happened,forgive the soul and say that
behavior is definitely not okay,but I'm not going to hurt
myself about it anymore.
(09:52):
Holding space also does not meanallowing disrespect, because
somebody could turn their angeron you and they could start
projecting their anger on you.
At that point, you still remain.
If you don't need to removeyourself from the situation,
depending on how strong you are,you remain grounded and you
(10:13):
remain vibrating at a high leveland you stay present with love
and truth through it until thatpasses.
Sometimes, when we just allowan emotion, it will pass.
Emotion, it will pass.
(10:35):
I'm going to give you someaffirmations and some journal
prompts, and there's also aguided meditation to go with
this.
Let's process what we've got sofar.
Okay, affirmations that mighthelp you with this.
I trust the path of otherswithout needing to control it.
Life is unfolding exactly howit should be.
(10:57):
I can love a person withoutlosing myself.
I offer space, not solutions.
I stay grounded in compassionand guided by peace.
I hold boundaries that protectmy energy and honor theirs.
(11:20):
So if you're up to somejournaling now or you can come
back to this and do somejournaling, it will also help
you process at a deeper level.
This is difficult.
(11:41):
As a friend, when somebody'shurting, it can be difficult to
hold space.
As a coach or therapist, it canbe difficult to hold space.
The people that I'm coaching alot of the teenagers it's hard
for them to hold space,sometimes with their friends
without getting into it, andthey've practiced a lot and
(12:03):
they're noticing a bigdifference in their lives and
their relationships too.
We've also had a lot of loss.
There have recently been a fewdeaths in our coaching community
and holding space so that thepeople can grieve and the people
can express their emotionswithout worrying about taking
care of my feelings or yourfeelings is essential for their
(12:28):
healing.
So journaling prompts whenthese are pretty deep.
I'm just going to warn you.
When have I tried to fixsomeone instead of holding space
?
So think about a time that youintervened.
I have so many that come tomind when I think that, because
it is the way.
Unfortunately, it's the way Ilived my life for a very long
(12:51):
time and it wasn't it wasn't agood thing.
It took me a long time tocorrect that.
I felt very responsible foreverybody's feelings and like,
if I couldn't help them orcouldn't help them fix it, that
I was failing in some way.
And that's totally not the case.
You're actually robbingsomebody of the opportunity of a
(13:12):
lesson that is theirs or anexperience that is theirs to
process if you steal it andexperience it for them.
So when have I done this tosomeone and what does compassion
without attachment actuallylook like in my life?
Where am I practicingcompassion without attachment
actually look like in my life?
Where am I practicingcompassion without attachment?
(13:34):
Where can I trust more andrelease control?
How do I maintain my energywhen others are struggling, and
what boundaries do I need tofeel safe and open and pick one
(13:55):
relationship where you strugglewith this and think about a time
that you went there with themand the result that it had, and
then journal about what thiscould have looked like if you
had allowed them the space.
(14:17):
Okay, so the next part of thisis a guided meditation, so I'm
going to ask you to go somewherecomfortable and get ready.
When we started this season ofchange this spring, I knew that
I was going to have five seniorsgraduating and I knew that five
(14:39):
of my students were in middleschool or would be transitioning
to middle school, and I knewthat a few people would likely
be dying, but I had no idea thatfive people were actually going
to transition in like aneight-day period.
So it has really been anopportunity to just see all
(15:00):
transitions and all of thechanges that are going on, and
holding space for people hasbeen essential.
So I hope this meditation helpsyou with that.
Take a comfortable seat ormaybe lay down, if you need to
(15:21):
lay down.
Close your eyes wherever youare, and begin with a slow, deep
breath in and then a longerbreath out, breath out.
(15:45):
This time, seal your lips andtake a big breath in through the
nose, fill up a little deeper,and out through the nose, just
letting the body calm down.
(16:07):
In through the nose, like youhave a balloon in your belly,
and out through the nose,relaxing and becoming more
present, more aware.
Deep breath in, connect on yourbreath out.
(16:39):
Imagine your body as rooted asa tree.
Your body's grounded, it'sstrong.
Visualize someone in your lifewho's struggling.
See them surrounded by light.
(17:03):
See yourself surrounded bylight and feel that light
flowing within you, from thecrown of your head, evenly
around your brain, evenly aroundyour brain, behind your eyes,
(17:36):
inside your ears, down yourthroat, and fill yourself with
the love and the light and allthings.
Let that light circle aroundyour heart, your beautiful heart
(18:00):
, and down your arms, into yourfingers, down your stomach,
through your hips, down yourlegs, through your toes, and
then feel that energy go intothe earth, all the way to the
(18:22):
center of the earth, and let theearth give something back to
you.
So again, visualize someone,that person in your life who's
struggling and while you remainfilled with the light, repeat I
(18:45):
trust your journey.
It's not my journey, I'm nothere to fix you.
I trust your journey.
You are the screen.
You are not this movie.
(19:06):
You are guided, you are grace,you are love.
God only gives us what we canhandle.
You have the resources for thissituation.
(19:30):
I am a vessel of peace.
I offer calm without absorbingchaos.
I release any urge to carrywhat isn't mine.
(19:54):
I carry what is mine and leavethe rest to trust.
I trust, so slowly, feel inyour body where trust lives and
(20:21):
make trust bigger.
Make it bigger on every inhaleand on every exhale.
I trust Exhale, I trust.
(20:46):
Inhale.
I receive, I am, exhale, I love, I trust, I am.
Slowly start to bring movementto fingers and toes and your
(21:13):
ankles and your wrists.
If you want, you can stay.
Stay in this place where you'rejust feeling this total peace
of trusting.
I trust.
And if you need to go, I hopeyou come back to this meditation
(21:36):
.
Try it once a day for a while.
Try it once a day for a whileand bring your awareness to your
skin and to the place where theair is touching your skin and
(22:00):
to that place within each of usand the connection within all of
us.

(14:17):
Okay, so the next part of thisis a guided meditation, so I'm
going to ask you to go somewherecomfortable and get ready.
When we started this season ofchange this spring, I knew that
I was going to have five seniorsgraduating and I knew that five
(14:39):
of my students were in middleschool or would be transitioning
to middle school, and I knewthat a few people would likely
be dying, but I had no idea thatfive people were actually going
to transition in like aneight-day period.
So it has really been anopportunity to just see all
(15:00):
transitions and all of thechanges that are going on, and
holding space for people hasbeen essential.
So I hope this meditation helpsyou with that.
Take a comfortable seat ormaybe lay down, if you need to
(15:21):
lay down.
Close your eyes wherever youare, and begin with a slow, deep
breath in and then a longerbreath out, breath out.
(15:45):
This time, seal your lips andtake a big breath in through the
nose, fill up a little deeper,and out through the nose, just
letting the body calm down.
(16:07):
In through the nose, like youhave a balloon in your belly,
and out through the nose,relaxing and becoming more
present, more aware.
Deep breath in, connect on yourbreath out.
(16:39):
Imagine your body as rooted asa tree.
Your body's grounded, it'sstrong.
Visualize someone in your lifewho's struggling.
See them surrounded by light.
(17:03):
See yourself surrounded bylight and feel that light
flowing within you, from thecrown of your head, evenly
around your brain, evenly aroundyour brain, behind your eyes,
(17:36):
inside your ears, down yourthroat, and fill yourself with
the love and the light and allthings.
Let that light circle aroundyour heart, your beautiful heart
(18:00):
, and down your arms, into yourfingers, down your stomach,
through your hips, down yourlegs, through your toes, and
then feel that energy go intothe earth, all the way to the
(18:22):
center of the earth, and let theearth give something back to
you.
So again, visualize someone,that person in your life who's
struggling and while you remainfilled with the light, repeat I
(18:45):
trust your journey.
It's not my journey, I'm nothere to fix you.
I trust your journey.
You are the screen.
You are not this movie.
(19:06):
You are guided, you are grace,you are love.
God only gives us what we canhandle.
You have the resources for thissituation.
(19:30):
I am a vessel of peace.
I offer calm without absorbingchaos.
I release any urge to carrywhat isn't mine.
(19:54):
I carry what is mine and leavethe rest to trust.
I trust, so slowly, feel inyour body where trust lives and
(20:21):
make trust bigger.
Make it bigger on every inhaleand on every exhale.
I trust Exhale, I trust.
(20:46):
Inhale.
I receive, I am, exhale, I love, I trust, I am.
Slowly start to bring movementto fingers and toes and your
(21:13):
ankles and your wrists.
If you want, you can stay.
Stay in this place where you'rejust feeling this total peace
of trusting.
I trust.
And if you need to go, I hopeyou come back to this meditation
(21:36):
.
Try it once a day for a while.
Try it once a day for a whileand bring your awareness to your
skin and to the place where theair is touching your skin and
(22:00):
to that place within each of usand the connection within all of
us.
When you're ready, open up youreyes.
